Description
This Frank Butler–designed sloop first came on the market in 1986. Since then, the Catalina 34 has built a well-deserved reputation as a classic blend of performance, comfort, and value. The large cockpit features pedestal steering with all instruments located at the wheel. We call this the Version 1.5 because of the walk-through transom with its double-duty ladder/gate. All lines lead to the cockpit for single-handed sailing and safety. Cockpit canvas provides a complete enclosure.
